AVS data stealer

[dr.pexquz]

Ciao a tutti! Sto usando Antivir da diverso tempo (da quando avast mi ha tradito.. ) e devo dire che è un programma di tutto rispetto, come potrete riscontrare (per chi non ci crede) nello spettabile virus.gr in un recentissimo test:

Ora, tutti conosceranno il nuovissimo Active Virus Shield che, se devo essere sincero, la capacità di riconoscimento virus di Kaspersky mi fa venire l'acquolina.. Ma una cosa mi frena dall'installarlo tenendo il SECONDO miglior antivirus free attualmente sul mercato.. C'è un problema con l'EULA, detto spiccio possono prendere molti dati (molto) personali e, volendo, possono usarli contro l'utente se AOL ritiene che questi gli stia facendo un torto.. Voi che pensate? La cosa mi tocca o è una cosa che fanno tutte le software house ed AOL è l'unica che ha avuto il coraggio di dirlo? Questa raccolta di informazioni deve preoccuparmi qualora installassi AVS? Grazie mille ciao!

Tranquillo, se queste cose ti preoccupano faresti prima a disinstallare Windows :lol:

Senza offesa, ma i consigli basati sui luoghi comuni non mi aiutano molto ;). Lo so che privacy e microsoft sono una dicotomia.. Non dico di essere anonimo, ma preferirei evitare di andare a raccontare pure la taglia delle mie mutande :D

Non mi risulta che AVS ti chieda la taglia delle mutande, usalo senza troppe paranoie.
E non è un luogo comune, è un software che conosco molto bene e di questa licenza qui sul forum ne avevo già parlato un'altra volta, quindi parlo con cognizione di causa.

non vorrei fare il rompino, mi permetto di insistere:
